That's a lot of boots.
Only 2 matches on tap today, after the madness that was Boxing Day – hope you joined us for our liveblog triple-header! We’re all worn out from that liveblogging action, and too intensely focused on today’s first match, to do it again but stick around in the bootroom to see the UF Gunners and commenter Keith taunt each other to the point of tears. The second match of the day is Hull v. Manchester United, where we will explore questions such as: (1) will Jozy find the bench/start, or has all of the tanning melted Phil Brown’s brain; (2) how much extra time will SAF ask for if ManPoo are losing; and (3) is Wayne Rooney a petulant t**t.
Arsenal: Almunia, Sagna, Gallas, Jude Law, one of the Flying Traores, Song Billong Rama-Lama Ding-Dong, Fake Brazilian, Nasri, Diaby, Crozilian, Magic Pixie. Subs: Fabianski, Theo, Silvestre, Vela, Ramsey, Eboue, Cesc
Aston Villa: Fridel, Young, Dunne, Cuellar, Warnock, Young (that guy is in 2 places at once!), Petrov, Milner, Downing, HeBangedAWhore, Heskey. Subs: Guzan, Reo-Coker, Delph, Collins, Beye, Carew, Sidwell
Everyone have a good Sunday!
Ah Villa, what pretenders… right Keith?
Jozy starts for Hull…
a Josy sighting??? now i have to watch this game, and root for Hull ::pukes::
woooooooo! The Haitian Sensation (TM)
wes brown just got on my hitlist
Rooney with the DIVE
Rooney dives and then uses a hand to control the ball; but English players don’t CHEAT!?!
Thats a penno. SAF will say its a good call. A child will die in Africa.
Or not, he got the ball – but isn’t that irrelvant?
This analyst talks way too much. Not that I disagree with him much, but, jeez, there is a game to watch.
Jozy is playing in this game?
I guess, where playing = running around and flapping his arms and not really otherwise touching the ball.
Good showing.
damn Rooney
Hull’s keeper is a laugh-a-minute, though.
It didn’t help that Hull just decided to stop playing there.
how about that one Anon? lol
Woo! Jozy touched the ball in the 2nd minute of stoppage time!
That better, wacman?
Much….he hasn’t looked bad, I think his teammates are sucking around him, though I’m biased as all hell
Oh, I wasn’t blaming him, so much as just saying. He can’t get involved in the game if his teammates pretend he isn’t there.
BTW, creamsicles = God’s gift to man.
Almost as good as the 2010 calendar with sleepy puppies on it that I got for Christmas.
This time next week, this game would be in HD, right? Please?
Bosley hair restoration was the best decision that guy has ever made in his life.
He must have made some really bad decisions in his life.
Namely telling people that that was the best decision in his life
You know, I really despise Man U.
As a Spurs fan, I should hate Arsenal more, I know. But I have some sympathy for them, b/c the first few games of soccer I ever watched as an adult, as I was becoming interested in it, were Arsenal games. I’m not a fan, by any means.
But Man U.
Can’t. Stand. Them.
Jozy draws the PK!
Jozy draws the PK!
PENAL PENAL PENAL.
well done on Jozy.
Mr. Angry……what a nickname that’d be
That should’ve been PENA, my Spanish dictionary tells me.
I don’t know what PENAL is.
Well.
I do, but…
And I really f**king hate it when people talk about what a team did or didn’t deserve.
You deserve exactly what happens, that’s it.
dammit Rafael! you a**hole
I love this, Wes Brown gestures to his fake watch and pleads with the ref to add more time on for the 35.7 seconds Jozy is down
^^^ Have I mentioned I hate Man U?
Hull’s clearances this game have been a total lollercaust.
G-d, I f**king hate ManU.
Man U have the bitchiest players in the league…..
and wow, of course an own goal….Hull clear their lines as well as Helen Keller speaks
dear Hull – gifting goals to ManU is not an effective strategy
dear Hull – being Hull is not an effective strategy
@Anon – well yes, there is that whole aspect of being the Tigers
That was a hell of a tackle on Jozy by the pitch just then.
YELLOW CARD.
I’m sorry, JT. I can’t hear you from 7th.
That sucked, but I’ve got to believe Villa willplay better on Tuesday. And all we’ve really got to do is play better than Wolves.
has anyone ever noticed that Boobatov looks like Andy Garcia?
I just threw up in my mouth a little.
^^ (Creamsicles are good the second time around, too.)
SO now it’s time to watch the Browns game…..the scary part is that there’s MORE soccer tomorrow morning…..ohhhhhh JOY!
It’s ok Keith, you’ll hear us soon enough. Only five points back!

Interesting discussion on the Sunday Supplemental re: ‘Pool selling Torres, Mascherano, AND Gerrard over the Summer in order to have the funds required to rebuild.
EF: that would be insane. The owners would almost certainly have to leave as well, otherwise they’d be murdered in the Directors’ Box.
Still, as absurd as that idea might be, it’s still a good representation of just how screwed the team is short-term unless they get some cash. The squad needs a lot of reorganizing, and it’ll require some serious money to do so.
JT, I’d be more frightened if Rafa didn’t have a 20 million pound albatross around his neck, and Hicks/Gillet could rectify their management situation this season.
No Monday Bootroom?
COYS.
Evidently West Ham are as surprised that there’s a 7:30 EPL today game as a I am.
Commentator: The biggest danger to Tottenham is themselves.
Amen, brother.
Is it just me, or does ‘Arry not sometimes look like an angry grandmother?
Move it upstairs, people!
